    Were the correct Motorcraft flywheel and starter motor installed? If they were aftermarket parts, there may be a gear compatibility problem. Diesels are hard on starter motors. My bet is that they installed a rebuilt starter that gave way. I would go with a new Motorcraft starter and ensure that it's compatible with the flywheel. Finally, remove and fully charge both batteries and clean battery terminals and cable connections.
